Chapter 909: Chapter 682: Ding Chuan’s Guest
House arrest order?
How many years has it been since I last heard that term.
And the fact that my brother was called back by my father, it must be really serious.
Youshi Wang, sharp-witted and perceptive, knew the matter was likely far more serious than Youshi Jun had let on, but she feared she couldn’t be of any real help to the family at the moment.
So she gently replied, “Yes, I understand. Be careful with everything.”
Youshi Jun hung up the Sky Communication, never once mentioning anything about gathering intelligence on Mu Fan.
Hearing the blind tone from the Sky Communication, Youshi Wang bit her lip, raised her gentle eyes to gaze into the distant sky, and silently prayed in her heart.
However, she never came to know why Youshi Jun had abruptly canceled his plans, and even the entire Youshi Family was unaware of the true source of this issue… lying with Mu Fan, whom they had once collected information on.
When the probability of something happening relies on too much chance, it shifts from likely to unlikely.
Looking down at the smooth granite floor beneath her feet, Youshi Wang moved forward, retracing her steps back to the student council.
She’d personally handle the afternoon’s reception.
However, after only a few steps, the Daffodil goddess full of worries stopped and turned toward another direction—
The Swordsmanship Club.
She needed to immerse herself in her emotions, or perhaps confide in someone; Lu Qingxue was a perfect confidant.
…
At this moment, the black spaceship drifting in the universe finally broke through Zero Eye Star’s surveillance system like a ghost, silently landing in the dense forest.
Dressed in common outdoor wear, Mu Fan was indistinguishable from other adventurers, except his youth was somewhat excessive.
“Mu Fan, although I have brought out a sufficient amount of High Crystal Stone resources, the demand for conventional mineral iron is expected to see a huge increase. Those ores will need you to purchase next, so…”
“Out of money, huh?” Mu Fan tightened his collar, looking up at the sky; here on Zero Eye Star, the sun had just risen.
“Yes, the funding gap is likely to become increasingly large.” Black’s voice also carried a hint of helplessness when even considering using Light Computer technology to hack the Federation’s banking system.
The Federation likely possesses a planet-level computing entity; if they ever discover the trace of the lost Light Computer network, it would be over once they set up a trap online.
“Got it. Produce a batch of arms samples for trade. I’ll make a trip to Grey Forest Star in a few days.”
“OK, then you should return now. Just received news that the communications of the Youshi, Dongye, and Sha families of the seven major families on Blue Capital Star have shown simultaneous anomalies. The malware I planted on the government portal intercepted some changes to the planet councilman’s temporary agenda, suggesting these three families might be involved in the higher-level force you mentioned.”
“And with these families using primitive communication and transport methods, I completely lost track of their personnel. According to the calculations of these variables, the odds of the Three Great Families being the force behind this have risen to 78.6%.”
Looking down at his watch, Mu Fan locked his eyes in one direction, nodding slightly, “Understood, take back the spaceship. I’ll handle the rest from here. Keep monitoring the situation on Planet 131.”
“As you command, great host.” Stealthily, the transport ship lifted and slowly ascended into the sky.
In this rarely-trodden deep forest, the takeoff of a small transport ship went unnoticed.
Even at the only populated area, the Space Port transit station, which houses the sole monitoring center on this planet.
When the transport ship took off, the radar graph merely fluctuated slightly.
In the monitor-screen-filled control room, a fat officer had his face covered with a cap as he lounged on a chair, snoring leisurely.
Completely oblivious to the fact that a “mosquito” had momentarily been on this planet.
Even if he knew… so what?
An hour later, the travel-worn Mu Fan emerged from the dense forest.
The pure Light Computer verification made Mu Fan feel no different than returning to his own home.
However, compared to the few passersby nearby, the only difference was Mu Fan’s empty shoulders and hands, a mere sightseer.
When he entered the Space Port filled with the scent of forest wood and saw the few passengers around, Mu Fan’s mood rarely relaxed.
Hot air blew up a large circle of dust on the ground as the mechanical electronic female voice sounded:
“Flight EH7751 to Blue Capital Star has arrived, passengers from Zero Eye Star please board the ship.”
The massive elliptical spacecraft’s belly hatch opened, and a beautiful flight attendant walked to the entrance, smiling at the passengers.
Mu Fan rose and calmly headed towards the ticket check-in.
“Mr. Wang Fan, we hope you visit Zero Eye Star again and wish you a pleasant journey,” said the ground staff wearing sunglasses after glancing at the documents and at Mu Fan’s face, smiling.
“I’ll definitely come next time,” Mu Fan replied with a smile.
Then he boarded the space cruiser under the professional smile of the flight attendant not far away.
Once inside, he found his seat—a comfortable window-side couch.
Sinking into it, leaning back on the soft couch back, he closed his eyes to rest, with a pair of tea-colored sunglasses on.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the flight duration to Blue Capital Star is 4 hours and 27 minutes,” announced the system broadcast from the cruiser.
“Spotted a big one near the Federation planet… it’s actually a space fortress, over five kilometers in diameter!” Black’s excited voice also chimed in at this moment.
Oh?
The eyebrows behind the sunglasses arched slightly.
His fingertips lightly brushed the frame of the sunglasses, and instantly, a layer of intricate light screen appeared inside the lenses, reflecting in Mu Fan’s pupils.
In the deep space of the universe, massive spherical fortresses emerged one after another, like miniature star bodies.
One after the other, from an unknown origin, they eventually gathered on the same route.
On the black backdrop, some hideous-looking red-painted warships emerged from the void, their muzzle surpassing any he had seen before…
Then, a flame flashed on one warship, and the visual disappeared.
“The probe was spotted and eliminated. Mu Fan, the high-level force you mentioned… is it them?” Black asked with curiosity.
Mu Fan took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.
A cold chuckle passed into the earpiece:
“Finally showing yourself, huh…”
But aside from that, Mu Fan said nothing further.
Just that the aura around him suddenly grew frigid, and a girl who had just approached to strike up a conversation suddenly halted, feeling a chill down her spine, and quickly retreated after glancing beside him.
…
“Why have this year’s exchange students come so early, with such a big fuss?”
Two third-year students were walking side by side on a pathway near Time Square, watching the welcome banners that had been set up for over ten days, complaining.
“What do the academy higher-ups think, those people look so pretentious, their noses almost pointing to the sky.”
“These are exchange students? If this is the level of the new students in the Four Great Colleges, then Ding Chuan’s rise is hopeful.”
“Hmph, what imposing guests they are.”
In voices full of ridicule, a long procession wearing various academy uniforms, including the elegant and charming goddess in the lead, came through Green Avenue into view, and the two students kept quiet.
